Just a Little "Perspective"

I don't know about you... but I find that things make more sense once you get a bit of "perspective." That is, you take a look at something from a distance. This is helpful in a number of situations in life, but in this case I'm referring to maps. In one of the most practical ways they are great for helping you see where you've been and where you are going.

So here's a bit on where I've been and where I'm going.

First off, here ("here" being the area within the red circle) is where the Solomon Islands are.

 

And these are the places I stayed while there.

 

And now, for my next adventure, I get to stay here. 

Well, more specifically, here.

(Apparently I have a BIT of a thing for islands?)

I'll be spending the majority of my time at the Camas Center, but will be making regular trips over to the Iona Abbey and the center there. And what will I be doing? Well, to put it simply I'll be working at retreat center doing day to day jobs (like cooking, gardening, running actives etc etc.). Kinda like working at summer camp really. There's more to it too, but you're just gonna have to stay posted to learn what that more is.

To learn more about Iona Community, what it's all about and more about what I'll be doing click right HERE to check out their website.


So this has absolutely nothing really to do with anything I've been talking about (unless you count that it it's also found on google maps?) but I think it's awesome and wanted to include it as a fun fact. Because it most certainly is fun. If you are in-tune with any sort of social media there is a good chance you've already seen this gem. If you aren't "in-tune", then you are in luck. Look closely at this and you'll see why its great. If you don't get this then, well, better luck next time. 
Try this for yourself, you just have to make sure you hit "walk" as your mode of transport. 
Hope this brightens your day. I know it did for me.
